Richard Lee Byers is a great author, although I have not read these particular books. He is the author of the Brotherhood of the Griffin trilogy and the Haunted Lands trilogy in the Forgotten Realms. If you can get your hands on the novels I would recommend reading them.

I read it some times ago. It gives a good introduction to the Scarred Lands (with an introduction to the Dead God Trilogy), with a mixture of important heroics (such as Barconius fight against the Penumbral Pentagon) and smaller-scale adventures. It is not great literature, but it's quite fun to read, introduces some spells or concepts from Relics & Rituals (such as the Body of Corean spells) or creatures from the Creature Collection. It might be a good thing to give to player's to introduce them to the setting, maybe.

Thanks.

I've been reading stories of other campaign settings (mostly D&D settings so far) to get the vibe of the setting. It seems like this book is worth a look.

Is it novel size or RPG book size?

I've also seen the new Pathfinder/5e Scarred Lands Kickstarter campaign mention a new short story by Richard Lee Byers (who wrote the Dead Gods trilogy) but they haven't said the name of the story yet. They also have not said what is going to happen with the story. I wonder if they will republish Champions of The Scarred Lands Anthology with the new story tacked onto the end.

That could be a good idea ^^ I'm not sure however that they are going for a print version of that new story (or a re-print of Champions of the Scarred Lands), it is probably low on their list of priorities...

Onyx Path Publishing just uploaded beautiful new copies of these PDFs to DriveThruRPG. The previous versions were scans and pretty terrible ones, at that. If you're looking for an inexpensive way to read these novels and don't mind using a tablet or e-reader, check these out.

There is a new trilogy in the work, called "Through Shadows and Dreams", written by Sarah L Stewart and Frances Stewart. The novels take place around the Serpent Amphora free adventure and the rest of the Serpent campaign (the way I understand it traces the backstory of Eochaid Lenahr, the vigilant that starts the events of the Serpent Amphora). The first book, Vigilant, is available for the kickstarter backers, and I imagine it will soon be available for everyone.
